Integrating MacOS X and Novell eDirectory 4

This document describes how information stored in Novell’s eDirectory can be used to

authenticate Mac OS X users and provide these users with network home directories and

file services from a Netware 6 server and the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP).

Scenarios

This paper presents two scenarios for eDirectory integration. In each scenario,

Netware 6 is used to host files for Macintosh computer users:

- In one scenario, Netware 6 is used to authenticate Mac OS X clients

Mac OS X clients in this scenario can authenticate with their eDirectory account from the

Mac OS X login window. The user’s Netware home directory located on the Netware 6

server will be mounted as the users Mac OS X home directory.

- In another scenario, Netware 6 is used to authenticate Mac OS 9 users through

Macintosh Manager on a Mac OS X Server

This will allow Mac OS 9 users to log in through Macintosh Manager using their

eDirectory accounts. The user’s Netware home directory located on the Netware 6 server

will be mounted as the user’s Macintosh Manager home directory.

Setting up Mac OS X client scenario

Netware 6 Server

Tools used to configure the server

How many tools you use to configure the Netware server will depend on your setup. In

most cases users will just use ConsoleOne. If you are planning on running ConsoleOne at

the server console, you will also need to use Netware Remote Manager for setting the

simple passwords. If you are running ConsoleOne on a Windows PC you need to make

sure you have the simple password snap-in installed (The snap-in is installed with

NMAS) and that client NICI (Novell International Cryptographic Interface) v2 or greater

is installed on your Windows PC.

What the test Netware tree looks like

The tree used in this document is as follows:
